A Hotel In New Hampshire Lets You Celebrate Christmas All Year Round

Nov 13, 2019

If you ask most people where you can celebrate Christmas at any time of the year, the most common answer would probably be "The North Pole." Yet, there is actually a place where you can celebrate Christmas year-round in Jackson, New Hampshire: The Christmas Farm Inn and Spa.

Located right in the mountains, this majestic site reminds visitors of the feeling of Christmas, whether it's December or the middle of July! The establishment was created in 1976, however the building itself was built in 1778 according to the hotel's website. Being aware of the different seasons, The Christmas Farm Inn and Spa offers horseback riding during the summer months. During the winter, snowmobiling is available.

The building has been used for many different purposes since its creation over two centuries ago. At first, it was a prison. Following that, it was transformed into a church. It later became a farmhouse and a saltbox. Finally, in 1933, a man purchased the property as a gift for his daughter.

During this time, they decided to make it into a Christmas farm. However, the farm did not fare well, she eventually sold it to the couple who own it today. When the couple made the purchase, they turned the property into a hotel, but kept the holiday theme.

With rooms that have Christmas-related names like Sleigh Bells and Blitzen, the hotel also offers a full-scale restaurant called the Mistletoe Pub. The Mistletoe Pub features a diverse menu which can be enjoyed by people of all ages. 

In the lobby sits a photo which features the first guests to stay at the hotel in 1946. Amazingly, the people in this family have been returning ever since (a time-span of over three generations).

One recent visitor reviewed the establishment on TripAdvisor and rated it five stars. He said he stayed at the Coachhouse and noted its breathtaking views and top-notch furniture. He also shared that he had stayed in August.

While this made him unable to judge what the place was like in the winter, he said it was great in the summer. He also praised the food, liquor selection and service, although he noted you may want to book a table as it can be busy with locals.
